Filling

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, green salsa, ground cumin, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable. Do not let them become crispy.

  2. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a warmed tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam side down on a plate. Repeat for all tortillas.

  3. 4

    Fry the Flautas

    In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the flautas seam side down in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, transfer the flautas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on top.
